salut a tous !
first things first....i got internet connection at home finally so yay :) !
holidays have started....its called toussaint or the all saints holidays...school starts on the 3rd of Noveber.
so ive planned a one week vacation to Austria :) why austria ? because it has come highly recommended from 2 others in the family who have travelled a lot..Murali anna and Anu akka. unfortunately ill be going alone but ill try to make the most of it anyway...i was planning to include switzerland into a week too but then thought why hurry it all up...so im going to soak in only 1 country at a time ..
ive picked 3 cities which are most popular and have a lot to do in and im going to spend 2 days in each city..
i must say it is such a hassle to plan trips ! its the best when somedoes all the planning and kids just go along...not having to worry about train tickets..hostel reservations..food..veg food..walking alone at night..its a foreigh language (german) there and what if i get lost -hypothetical because many seem to know english there..i called to make hosel reservations and dint have any problems as she spoke good english. money ,time, not falling asllep on the train and skippin my stop..what if i loose important documents..my card stops working or is not accepted...my luggage is stolen...the weather is terrible and i cant get out of the hostel..
sigh...so many things to worry about...i try not to ..so i remain positive but then when im trying to fall asllep i just cant seem to...the past 2 days have been like that..lol..i know its a lil funny..:) but this is the first time im planning things on my own and i guess its expected..
but now things are a lil more planned and im putting all those worries behind me...what has to happen will happen...ill hope everything goes well and i have the greatest time ever. :)
im leaving tomoro morning and ive made a list of things to take along...yet to start packin though..
im taking my laptop along cuz there is free wifi in all my hostels and i can keep you all posted on a dailly basis that way..im excited cuz ive been reading online and there is just so much to see...the movie sound of music was made there and i love that movie. also ill get to see mozarts home and sigmund freud's home..his workplace and everything..it ll be great. ill see if i can find company in the hostels to tour around with. that will be even better. so anyway..ive put up a lil map and have marked the 3 cities im goin to WIEN (VIENNA) , SALZBURG and INNSBRUCK . and a copy of my itinerary.
keep mailing you all 1
